COROT'S BiG HEART. j
An Incident Illustrating the Great i
Artist's Generosity.
Corot. the great French landscape
artist, was a man or tne lernpenimem j
traditionally associated with genius? J
irritable, impetuous, careless, gener- i
ous and lovable. M. Albert Dubuisson. |
whose father was the great painter's J
friend, has published some interesting j
reminiscences of him in the Studio, in j
which he tells of a day he spent with I
tlie artist in his studio, when a knock |
at the door?the last straw after sev j
?ral really annoying interruptions? j
caused Corot to fling the door open j
abruptly with flushed face and lire in
his eye.
"What is it now? Come in! Who
are you? What do you come and dis
turb me for?" he demanded anjrrily.
The caller much disconcerted, stammered
his explanation:
"I came. M. Corot? I-it's about an J
accident. A workman engaged on the
the building has had a fall. His
condition is very grave They have
just taken him off to the hospital. We

who leaves a wife and four children
We are getting np a subscription
among the lodgers in the building for
the family. I thought you would per
haps like to join us."
Corofs expressive countenance showed
clearly his quick rejrret for his
roughness to the messenger and his
deepening sympathy for the injured
man. He made prompt amends.
"The poor fellow!" he exclaimed.
"The unfortunate family?a wife and

how can I 'be of use to you?I who

they'll need money. Here! You see

Obeying these directions, the Visitor |
ODened the drawer and paused thunderstruck.

bills, tossed-in helter skelter as the arti
ist had received them. Witt^. xrne embarrassment.
while Corot workt. away
busily at his easel, the visitor helped
himself to as large a sum as bis conscience
permitted him to take, murmured
his thanks and departed. Corot
never inquired what he had taken or
looked to see, although, indeed, he
would not have kDown if he had.
FOUR GREAT HEROES.
Their Fall From the Giddy Heights of
Ambition and Power.
History records that Alexander the
Great, who was the pupil of Aristotle
at fourteen, and who reigned over the
of civ^Aan rrhllii hie
iuatcuvuiauo a l oi?xi\^cu, ?? ujh^ uj.w
father was absent, and who succeeded
Philip when he was nineteen, after
climbing the heights of his ambition,
fell from his lofty eminence. Alexander,
with his temples bound in chaplets
dipped in the blood of countless
nations, looked down upon a conquered
world and wept that there was not
another one for him to conquer, then
set ? citv on Sre and died amid scenes
of debauch!
Hannibal, one of the greatest soldiers
who ever lived, after having passed the
Alps, to the amazement of Rome, and
having successfully fought and conquered
the armies of the mistress of
the world, stripping three bushels of
gold rings from the fingers of her
slaughtered warriors, fl^d from his
country. He died by poison administered
by his own hand, unlamented,
in a foreign land.

considered to be his best friends.
Bonaparte, the greatest genera! of
modern times, after having filled the
earth with the terror of his name deluged
it with tears and blood and
clothed the world, as it were, in sackcloth.
ended his days in banishment
upon a lonely island <r> the South Atlantic.
Falling Up Out of a Balloon.
If a man falls out of a rising aeroplane
or balloon he will not go toward
the earth, but will continue rising into
the air for an appreciable time. If the
air machine were stopped in its ascent
at the time it could catch the man
as he came down. If the airship were
ascending at the rate of thirty-two feet
a second the man would rise sixteen
feet before beginning to fall toward
the earth. Thus, by reducing the speed
of its ascent the vessel might keep by
the side of the man and rescue him.
The reason why the man rises is the
same as the reason for a bullet's rising
when shot from a ?uii into the air?
both the man and the bul. are given
a velocity upward, and it takes some
time for gravity to negative that
velocity.?Glasgow News.
